This game is so weird!

With the end of the SDM New Product Festival, Li Ang took the opportunity to close the trial access.

After promising to preserve the data of the existing 20 players and grant them priority access in the next test, Li Ang controlled the base terminal to determine that the employee vacation had begun and prohibited employees from logging in.

According to the Empire's requirements, employees must enjoy a vacation of no less than 48 consecutive hours after working continuously for more than 30 hours.

Li Ang was unaware of this rule beforehand. He only found out after a player triggered a warning by playing for 30 consecutive hours and the Imperial Welfare Department sent him a warning email.

We need to find a way to avoid this problem.

This was Li Ang's first thought upon seeing the warning. He then spent an hour carefully studying the employee welfare regulations that accompanied the letter, and discovered a loophole.

A mandatory break is only triggered if employees work continuously for 30 hours. Normally, employees should be provided with 14 hours or more of rest time per day, or at least 8 hours of rest time after being paid double overtime pay. Work arrangements can then be made on a voluntary basis.

In addition, no less than 30 days of paid leave should be provided each year, which may be provided in the form of travel with the employee's consent.

Upon seeing this, Li Ang had a bold idea.

In other words, I'd let players rest for ten hours a day before going to work, and then build a tourist attraction in a place that needs exploration every year for players to explore, and that would be fine!

Anyway, I didn't pay any salary, so 0x2 is still 0!

Li Ang, who instantly found a solution, took out his notebook and wrote down the idea.

Li Ang, who had never really trusted AI and information systems, only created this notebook after spending 10 Star Coins to unlock paper and book manufacturing licenses.

After that, I would jot down any inspirations or private matters in my notebook.

Of course, the paper and books used as basic materials are licensed for free, while the license for a lightweight notebook with consciousness recognition comes for 10 star coins.

With this, you no longer need to worry about being robbed by habitual thieves or having some secrets discovered.

I came down from the second floor and went into the staff dormitory.

Looking at the players lying scattered all over the ground, Li Ang sighed.

"Let's start cleaning!"

As he spoke, he picked up the players' bodies and moved them out one by one.

Following the instructions of the funny face, I then used the construction gun to install the last optional module of the base.

As the blue light shone, the interior of the room began to change. A row of metal cans appeared in the center of the room. The cylindrical metal tubes had a glass front and the tops were hooked onto a teleportation shaft. With the pull of the teleportation shaft, the metal cans could slide into the ground from the back of the room.

[Employee Dorm Module]

Introduction: Still worried about your employee storage? Super Bluestar's employee hibernation module provides you with a fast and convenient employee storage solution, using Super Bluestar's unique refrigerant quick-freezing technology to preserve the original flavor of the storage medium.

The hibernation module can preserve carriers for a long time, including but not limited to living organisms, half-human half-machines, machines, and even helicopters (humanoid), reducing the losses from cyclic production and life support, with a preservation period of up to 10 years.

(Note: The biological carrier's reproductive capacity and other organ functions may be damaged during the preservation period, and Super Blue Star will not be held responsible.)

What a perfect module!

After seeing this module recommended by the funny face, Li Ang was immediately interested.

It not only solves the problem of preserving employees' bodies during maintenance and updates, but also reduces strange desires.

What kind of amazing saver is this?!

Only aliens know how to play.

After stuffing the players into the cryogenic chambers one by one and letting them roll into the underground storage, Li Ang finally had time to prepare other items.

In preparation for the official launch, Li Ang made a lot of preparations, and almost spent all the Star Coins he had earned from his first pot of gold.

Li Ang made the difficult decision to buy a lot of new licenses mainly to earn some extra money to subsidize those incompetent college student startup groups, and also to prevent the game from being criticized too harshly after its release, which would negatively impact subsequent user acquisition.

First, there's the vacant land where the factory was built; even after the factory was completed, there was still plenty of space available.

Li Ang built a production factory here, along with a warehouse equipped with a small unmanned transport aircraft. This would ensure that the supplies stored within the base could be automatically transferred by drones, eliminating the need for Li Ang to carry them to where they were needed, as before. Although they were not tiring to carry in a compressed backpack, it was still not very convenient, and it would only become more troublesome as the base expanded.

Therefore, more advanced logistics solutions are necessary.

The production plant is a rudimentary automated manufacturing base containing two 3D printing production lines. These production lines are actually just two enormous diamond-shaped manufacturing machines. They can extract and synthesize ordinary resources, and finally use 3D printing technology to create finished products according to blueprints.

To this end, Li Ang also purchased a technology license for the Empire's primary intelligent core, which accounted for the largest portion of the expenditure.

It requires a lot of silver ore, copper ore, and titanium ore, as well as a coral fragment called a gem plate. The final product is a cube that inexplicably emits a blue light, similar to a Rubik's Cube.

It is said that the ability to provide processing power equivalent to that of an Imperial high school graduate is a necessary condition for building a basic automated factory.

After completing the construction of the production plant, Li Ang arranged for the comical face to coordinate the factory to start production of the newly purchased personal portable headphone terminal - the Comet Headphones.

While it can't compare to the comprehensive features of the Kaitek headset terminal, which requires frequent charging and cannot monitor personal status, its screen projection, communication, and other auxiliary functions are quite good. It also has a standard design and can be used in conjunction with many other items.

Most importantly, it allows players to receive broadcast notifications from the base, making it more convenient to issue quests.

Because it's a black terminal (without a purchased communication access license), it can only communicate within the area network covered by the planetary base, but it can still meet current needs when paired with the Emperor Penguin auxiliary system purchased earlier.

Finally, Li Ang climbed onto the lawn on the cliff of the signal tower and built three dual-purpose wind and solar engines there to maintain the operation of the base facilities.

At this point, Li Ang had completely spent all the star coins he had exchanged for the gold nugget, leaving only a small amount.

After all this was done, the sun was almost setting below the horizon.

The waves gradually calmed down, and the entire beach was bathed in orange sunlight, creating a unique warmth.

Li Ang sat on the beach and began to reminisce about his past life.

I wonder how things are at home. After the police found the body of the person who died unexpectedly, the insurance company's compensation should be enough for them to live happily for the rest of their lives, or at least live comfortably until they go back home.

After thinking for a while, until the sun had completely set, Li Ang returned to the base hall. While enjoying the sea fish that he had cleaned and grilled in the workshop, he opened the SDM management backend on Earth and began to write the sales announcement.

[Brave New World Launch Announcement]

Dear Pioneers:

important:

The early access period is expected to last 12 months, with subsequent updates including AI companions, alien exploration, industrial development, tourism development, and more hidden content.

Due to server resource limitations and some technical issues, the game will only offer 200 trial access slots. Access will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Players who exceed the limit can wait for the next round of testing or choose an unconditional refund.

(Note: The original 20 trial player privileges will be directly inherited and will not be subject to quota restrictions. Players can directly enter the game after purchase.)

Once the early access begins, launch events will be held, with the chance to win limited-edition followers and real-world items. More details will be announced in-game, so stay tuned.

The developer's message: "Every achievement and every growth you make helps Base 343 thrive—and of course, Commander Leon's account balance will grow in tandem."
